The Burke County Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, October 19, 2021, at 6 p.m. to receive input from citizens on the County returning $300,000 PARTF (Parks and Recreation Trust Fund) grant matching funds and $570,000 STBG-DA (Surface Transportation Block Grant – Direct Attributable) grant funds from the Western Piedmont Council of Governments. Misaligned timelines between the two (2) grants, inability to get verbal commitments on all of the right-of-way, and stringent Federal regulations are considerations for returning the grant funding intended for engineering portions of the Fonta Flora State Trail.

Notice given this 7th day of October 2021.
